Specifically, it is about the development of racial thought from the end of the eighteenth century through to the second half of the nineteenth century. It starts with one war - Britain's epic struggle with France between 1793 and 1815 - and ends with another - the Anglo-Asante War of 1873-4, neatly sidestepping the American Civil War in between. It is apt that warfare bookends this study since the main focus of the book are the West India Regiments (WIRs), British army units composed largely of men of African descent. This book uses the WIRs as a lens to focus in on changing racial attitudes in the Anglophone Atlantic. Racial thought Race is a slippery concept. As a means of categorising peoples it has only a tangential relationship with biology.1 It is far too subjective, and often personal, for that. As individuals we each perceive race differently, primarily via sight but with the other senses contributing as well, constructing a racial identity for ourselves and for others that may not concord with those of other people.2 Someone whom I perceive to be white, for instance, might not be perceived by others as white, or indeed think of themselves as white. If race is confusing now, it was an even more plastic concept for most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries 'being determined by lifestyles, diet and, above all,by climate'"-- Existe aussi en version électronique Großbritannien West India Regiments (DE-588)1216901023 gnd Great Britain Army fast Great Britain Army Colonial forces West Indies, British History Geschichte 1795-1874 gnd 1700-1899 fast Militärmedizin (DE-588)4074817-0 gnd Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 gnd Militär (DE-588)4039305-7 gnd Armed Forces Colonial forces fast Blacks Race identity fast Medicine, Military fast Race relations fast Soldiers, Black fast Blacks Race identity West Indies, British History 18th century Blacks Race identity West Indies, British History 19th century Soldiers, Black West Indies, British History Race relations West Indies, British Medicine, Military West Indies, British History 19th century Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 gnd West Indies British West Indies fast History fast Lockley, Timothy James Military medicine and the making of race 9781108495622 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 UFBIMEDGES UFBI-202007 s1me rnv s2ht rnv IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH Mil 2058 NELA1002007 IDSBB B583 B583 583LS IMG UH 11 FA1 L816 NELB5832009 IDSBB 100 1- Lockley Tim 1971- (DE-588)134145127 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Lockley Tim 1971- (DE-588)134145127 Verfasser aut VAUD 100 1- Lockley Timothy James 1971- author aut VAUD 776 1- Lockley, Timothy James Military medicine and the making of race 9781108495622 NEBIS UZH50 https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/UMBC_978-1-108-49562-2_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007187225/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 587864206
